Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships – Call for applications

Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies

Jun 3/14

Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships are the
most prestigious postdoc fellowships in Canada, and are available to
postdoctoral fellows working in all fields that fall under any of the three
tri-council funding agencies: NSERC, SSHRC & CIHR. The aim of the program
is to attract and retain top-tier national and international postdocs and to
position these postdoctoral fellows for success as research leaders of
tomorrow.

The application requirements for
these prestigious awards (valued at $70,000/year
for 2 years, beginning between April and October of 2015) are unique, in
that they are not only based on the merit of the applicant and their potential to launch a successful
research-intensive career, but also focus on the synergy between the applicant,
the proposed supervisor, and the host institution (and its commitment to the
research program and environment with which the applicant is to be affiliated). Applicants must therefore complete
their application in full collaboration with the proposed host institution.

This year’s national application
deadline is September 24, 2014. But because of the extensive nature of the
applications, and the required institutional elements, the internal deadline for pre-applications (notices of intent) to the
Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies is August 22, 2014. Applicants who will be supported by the university
for the national competition will be notified by September 3, 2014.

We encourage faculty to recruit exceptional
postdoctoral researchers whose research aligns well with one of the research
strengths of the university to submit an application to FGPS by the August internal
deadline.
